Description

At traders chat, received messages are getting wrong time stamps. My messages are ok, but the other party ones are not. It might be due to his/her local time or wrong time set. Anyway, the chat is ordering the messages in the wrong order due to that.

Research direction
Review the Bisq chat messaging code to understand how message timestamps are generated. Check if timestamps are stored in UTC or local time. Look at the ordering logic. The issue mentions that only received messages have wrong timestamps, so focus on the receiving side. Check comments on the issue for more details.
